All components are integrated in a sturdy steel frame which is height-adjustable. The control elements are ergonomically arranged at the operator's level in a swivel-type control panel. This ensures that the extrusion parameters set are always in view.

In environments where there are no permanent staff, the optional remote control unit offers an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling the unit from a distance. All parameters are stored in a protocol file so that later analysis is possible at any time.

When connected to a chill roll and winding system CR 7, CR 8 or CR 9, the extruder creates a self-contained basis for connecting optical measuring equipment.

Furthermore, the modular concept permits the use of different optional accessories so that easy and convenient adaptation is always ensured.
